Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Capabilities0

Unverified: 5 categories

Categories scored 0 because our sandbox run of this package has not given us the schema these checks need to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until the capture succeeds. We are working through the fleet, so this normally clears without any action from you. How we score packages →

MCP tools

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. The most recent sandbox run could not capture a tool list from this package.

Common questions

What is the Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis MCP server?

Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ashfordeOU/grasp. Codebase analysis: dependency graphs, security scanning, and refactor plans for GitHub and GitLab. This page covers its npm package (grasp-mcp-server).

Is the Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis MCP server still maintained?

Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis MCP server under?

Grasp — Code Architecture & Dependency Analysis declares the Elastic-2.0 licence, which is not on the OSI-approved list. Read the terms before using it at work, and note this covers the source only, not the cost of any service it calls.
